Hello World

Today roughly marks a year and two months on the road. Travel is
wonderful, and I ony wish I had started earlier. But I can’t get over
the nagging need for productivity. It’s too easy to play tourist; to
explore, exchange, consume – I need to produce.

There’s a young coder who stands out when browsing the tech blogs:
Alex Maccaw. I’ve curiously followed
his path as he similarly took a round-the-world trip, but managed his
travel with amazing streaks of productivity: a book on coffeescript,
numerous blog posts, code snippets, and eventually a job at
Stripe. It’s inspiring to watch, and quite motivational, to say the
least.

Traveling yields a multitude of thoughts, and my
Trello is now an overflowing notepad of
todo’s, mini-projects, and startup ideas. They pile upon each other,
smothering in disuse.

So I’ve decided to reboot my blog, tweaking the classic
Octopress design, and taking inspiration from
Medium, to build a more thorough notepad. To
explore mini-projects. Share code. Hacks. Entertain proof of
concepts.
